I'm going through my old pictures. This is the first picture I took of my sonoran. At the time I didn't even know what it was!

I forgot,,,,is that male or female? What are you pairing it with? I really love that animal....keep us posted

Thanks Tom,
I bred him to a w/c Rodeo New Mexico female last year.

wow that speaks volumes to the monotony of what variety or lack thereof i have been seeing lately....be it in online ads,forums,at shows(never thought i'd see the day where i actually feel there are too many shows,but here we are).....pretty much the only white sided species i see are sayi,brooksi,and p. obsoleta(a.k.a. 'licorice stick'..not crazy about that 'nickname',but i know the guy who bred the original,and that's what he called 'em).on a more positive note-that snake is a real pearl,hope it's doing well.know of any others,or is it one of a kind?

I took him to the Tucson reptile show in 2004 and people loved him. I had all kinds of people checking him out. He's got blue eyes like a leucistic so I don't think it is whitesided. You hit the nail on the head though. I think I'll call it a Pearl Gophersnake. So when you go to a show you can say you named it!

Thanks,
Colby
